Gen, D. P. Grier, chairman of the st.
Louis Grand Army of the Republic execu-
tive committee and grand marshal of the
parade, in an interview made the following
statement In regard to certain phases of
Grand Army affairs: "The people of St.
Louis, without regard to party, religion or
color are prepared to welcome the comrades
of the Grand Army of the Republic with
open arms, and their welcome and enter
tainment will be of the most cordial char.
acter. The parade on the 27th
will exceed in number and imposing
effects any that has been seen since
war, and he characterized the reports
which have been set afoat, that obstacles
will be thrown In the way to make un-
pleasant scenes, as simply false and got
ten up by irresponsible persons for un.

of st. Louis will appoint himself com.

an honored guest of the city. This feel

the people generally, but all the city Of

HOW ABOUT THE WOMEN

At the recent labor bureau congress In
Madison, Wisconsin, one of the speakers
urged that "the statistical machinery of
government should be increased" Another
speaker, using this machinery, said:
There were. as shown by the census for
1880, fifty five millions of people in the
United States, of whom seventeen millions
were engaged in gainful occupations.
Two thirds Of the whole population are
thus, In greater or less degree, liberated
from the struggle for existence.
That is pretty good sentence by which
to test the worth of Statistical machinery. ="
Two thirds of the population relieved from
the struggle for existence, Think of 1T
AS matter of fact, is there farm where
the women do not work as hard as the
men? Isn't every farmers wife and daugh-
tel engaged in agriculture?" Who makes
the butter, and isn't that branch of agri-
culture?
What nonsense it is to omit the women
from the working force in agriculture in
our state, and what blunder to argue that
consequently host of women are relieved
from the struggle for existencel Statistics
like those of the last census do not need to
be increased Relieve the females en-
gagged In agriculture from the Struggle
for existence" and more than ninety times
ninety tired women would lie down and
rest, and the farm work itself would have
to stop soon. Statistics do not need to be
praised until they have been tested.

SEVERAL writers have referred to
Ministers dividing in the vote on GER
tain measures as something altogether
foreign to responsible government.
This is either an exhibition of ignor-
ance ON the part of those writers or q
presumption by them of lack of
knowledge in their readers. There Is
nothing uncommon in Ministers I'M
der the British system dividing upon
questions that are not presented as
Cabinet proposals. 1t Is common for
Ministries under that system to an
nounce. by their leader in the repre-
sentative house, that they do not IN
sist upon a certain propositon-it
may be whole bill or part of one
as Government motion and that
their supporters are free to vote with
ont regard to party considerations.
Moreover. British Ministries frequent
" modify or withdraw measures I'M
der stress of opposition from within
their own camp. OF course, this Is
an acknowledgment of weakness and
often amounts to a very serious re
verse. but it does not by any means
always involve the overthrow of the
Ministry. Sometimes, as has been
seen of late years IN the Imperial
Parliament, the Opposition party
carefully avoids forcing the resigna-
ton of the Ministry, although tenn
pQrarily able to secure a majority, be
cause they are not prepared TO as
sumo the rains of government
themselves. However. as stated in
another connection the other day.
our system Is not an exact copy Of
the English: so that We have to
work out the problem OF re-
sp0nsible government on the
basis of our written Constitution.
according to the peculiar circum-
stances Of our own case. While the
principle OF popular control Is the
same. vet the method of applying it
may differ as much between this
country and Great Britain as between
the latter nation and the United
States. British thinkers are not at
all satisfied that their system has yet
arrived at q perfect ideal, and certain
alleged anomalies are continually
cropping up in public discussion.
For instance, the question of mi
nority representation has been more
or less prominent lately in the United
Kingdom. while the very latest mail
has brought accounts Of speeches by
Gladstone, IN which he puts forward
a. q needed reform a theory that Is
briefly described in the words. one
man. One vote" and OF a speech by
Lord Randolph Churchill frankly &c
knowledging the soundness OF that
theory.
